HVAC WORKERS’ COMP RATE DECREASES!

Great News!!! FRACCA has just received notice from NCCI that the rate for Workers’ Compensation classification Code 5537 (HVAC) is now $9.46. Looks like having a separate code for HVAC, instead of being grouped with other industries, is paying off. This is almost a 10% decrease!

The new rate will take effect January 1, 2007. FRACCA worked hard at keeping the initial rate for the new single classification. It was just a year ago that NCCI had proposed a first time rate of more than $15.36. With input from FRACCA members and industry “friends”, NCCI reconsidered the rate and set it for $10.40. That set the stage for the newest decrease down to $9.46.

Contractor members in all of the five FRACCA affiliated chapters are automatically members of the state organization, Florida Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Contractors Association (FRACCA). The collective voice of our members along with that of our lobbyist Cam Fentriss, FRACCA has become an agent for positive change in our industry and allows our members to keep more money where it belongs - in their own corporate pockets. That’s “FRACCA Working for You!
